SIDE-SADDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,711, dated April 8, 188%.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY RUWART, of J etl'erson City, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Side-Saddles, of which the following; is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in WhlCll- Figure lis a View in perspective of a sidesaddle tree having the improvement; Fig. 2, a vertical transverse section of the tree and roll or rim; Fig. 3; a similar section of the tree, the foundatiomcovering being attached to the tree; Fig. 4, a sectionalv View of the roll, its covering being at one edge. attached to the roll; Fig. 5, a vertical transverse section similar to that of Fig. 2, but showing the foundationcoverings upon thetree and roll; and Fig. 6, a view similar to that of Fig. 5, but showing in addition the outer cover.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

The present invention relates to the shape of the side bars, the roll or rim, and the manner of covering the bars and roll and finishing the saddle.

A A represent the side bars of the tree. In the direction of the transverse axis of the 'saddie the bars are iiat at the top, as seen more distinct-1 in Figs. 2, 3, 5, 6. Otherwise the bars may be of the usual form. A foundation-cover, B, is then applied to the bars, as shown in Fig. 3.

- 0 represents the roll or rim of the tree. It is made separate from the bars and then attached thereto by means such as the screws 0 0, Figs. 1, 2; but before attaching the roll to the bars a foundation-cover, D, is applied to the roll. One edge, (1, of the cover is fastened Application filed January 29, 1883. (No model.)

as in Fig. 4., to the underside of the roll. The roll is then fastened by means of the screws 0 c to the side bars, after which the edge d of the cover D is drawn down upon the roll and fastened to the side bars, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 The saddle is then finished by means of the outer cover, E, which is passed over the bars and roll and suitably fastened at its edges to the side bars, substantially as shown in Fig. 6. This outer cover rests upon the bars toward the center of the saddle, but toward the roll the cover need not fit the. tree closely, and the seat F, Fig. 6, in consequence issuitably rounded out at its periphery.

The intermediate covers B D, either or both of them, may be omitted, and only the cover E be used.

. The strainer G is countersunk in the bars A. A, as shown. This enables the seat F to be smooth without any ridge, as heretofore.

The tree is supplied to the trade with the roll attached. ing the screws 0 c, detaches the roll and then completes the saddle, as above described.

I claim- 1. A side-saddle tree having the strainer G countersunk in the side bars, as and for. the purpose described.

2. The combination, in a saddle, of the flattopped side bars, A A, the detachable roll G, and the cover E, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the side bars, A A, the cover B, the detachable roll 0, the cover D, the fastenings c c, the cover E, and strainer G, substantially as described.
